Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

Closely following it were five or six smaller canine puppets, moving nimbly.

Although they still have a stealth effect, the camouflage pattern is distorted from time to time during high-speed movement.

To Jiang Zhe, an experienced hunter, the outline was almost clearly discernible.

"Are they all invisible units? Is it really necessary to target only me?"

Jiang Zhe was secretly alarmed, but then a surge of greed welled up within him.

"If I could kill them all, or take them all as my dogs..."

He glanced at the spoils he was carrying and then roughly estimated the distance he had run.

"About two hundred meters, we're already far away from the machine tools."

"Moreover, the terrain here is narrow, making it suitable for engaging the enemy."

As long as he abandons the idea of ​​capturing them alive and focuses all his energy on attacking, with the interference of the floating cannons, taking down this squad shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhe paused, preparing to turn around and fight back.

However, just as he was about to make a move...

"Sizzle!"

A blinding red light shot out from the darkness behind without any warning.

"Holy crap?"

Jiang Zhe felt a chill run down his spine and almost instinctively activated his escape card.

"boom!"

The next moment, the red light flew past his afterimage and slammed into a pillar he had just passed.

"Wait, you get laser treatments too?!"

Jiang Zhe's expression changed instantly, and the thought that had just arisen quickly dissipated.

His gaze swept across the distance, landing behind the group of lickers and mechanical dogs.

There was another, even larger shadow, slowly moving about.

That was clearly a heavy firepower support unit!

"An assassin charges in, with a sniper rifle set up behind him?"

"What's the point of fighting? Let's get out of here."

Without saying a word, Jiang Zhe buried his head and continued running.

After all, this configuration is too luxurious; if you still want to force yourself to accept it, the price will be quite high.

"Sizzle!"

He hadn't run more than a few steps when another laser shot out.

This time, however, the beam of light was off course, hitting the ceiling directly and sending dust flying everywhere.

"What do you mean by aiming?"

Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow and his eyes lit up.

"It seems that although that big guy has a lot of firepower, its locking system is probably outdated or interfered with by other reasons, so it can't hit accurately."

This is somewhat of a blessing in disguise.

As long as you keep moving and don't become a sitting duck, you should be fine.

Given his current physical condition, running for one or two hours straight is no problem for him at all.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just as Jiang Zhe was constantly weaving and dodging through the complex passageway...

A muffled, rhythmic thud suddenly came from behind a wall in the distance.

The sound was so loud that it even caused the old rust on the wall to fall off in a rustling sound.

"Um?"

Jiang Zhe slowed his pace slightly, his expression somewhat strange.

This noise... seems familiar?

The scene he had seen on the surveillance camera not long ago instantly flashed into his mind.

That's the guy who was frantically attacking the gate.

"Could it be him?"

Jiang Zhe's heart stirred. If it really was Li Kai, his old teammate, then he could seek cooperation.

But then another thought popped into my head.

"Could it be other puppets preparing to flank us?"

If that's the case, then he's in a precarious situation, surrounded and trapped.

It was during this brief hesitation that the pursuers behind them drew even closer.

The strange metallic scraping sound and eerie cries seemed to be right next to me.

"I don't have time to dwell on it."

Jiang Zhe frowned, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Judging from the sound, there seems to be only one, so a quick kill shouldn't be a problem!"

"Sprint!"

With a thought racing through his mind, he let out a low shout, and then his figure flashed as he quickly approached.

The cards in his hand were already tightly held, ready to surprise the guy who was about to appear.

"boom!!"

He was only a few meters away from the wall when...

A loud bang, and pieces of debris flew everywhere.

A large hole had been smashed into the solid metal wall!

As the smoke and dust cleared, a disheveled figure emerged, cursing and swearing.

He is not a puppet, and he is not Li Kai.

Appearing before Jiang Zhe was a man dressed in a black combat suit, his muscles taut.

And she looks even more irritable than Li Kai... a woman?

"Leah?"

Jiang Zhe was stunned, and the flashbang he was about to throw stopped in mid-air.

"Cough cough... Who designed this lousy road? It's full of dead ends!"

Leia waved her hand to brush away the dust in front of her, looking gloomy.

After accidentally falling into an underground pipe, she decided to take the opportunity to get to the core area.

As a result, she wandered around in the pipe for half an hour without finding her way out, and instead got herself dizzy.

In a fit of anger, she simply started smashing things.

Forget about roads or anything like that, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line!

"Hmm? Jiang Zhe?"

Lei Ya was also taken aback, then her eyes widened as she pointed at Jiang Zhe's outfit, finding it rather strange.

"What a coincidence, you're lost here too...!"

"Sizzle!"

But before she could finish speaking, a deadly red light shot out from the darkness behind Jiang Zhe without warning.

The sniper seemed completely unconcerned about having an extra person, and with a stroke of incredible luck, fired a laser.

It headed straight for Leia with unparalleled precision.

"Be careful!"

Jiang Zhe's pupils contracted, and he was about to make a move, but it was too late.

However, Leia's combat reaction was even faster than he had imagined.

Almost the instant the red light appeared, a yellowish-brown light shield quickly appeared around her.

"Bang!"

The red light struck the shield, but the seemingly fragile shield was not penetrated.

Instead, it absorbs energy upon contact and then explodes violently.

Countless fragments shot out like a shower of flowers, actually swallowing the laser whole.

"Phew... thankfully, the stuff Li Mo gave us was pretty reliable."

Raya was jolted by the impact of the explosion.

Although he looked disheveled, he was completely unharmed and hadn't even taken a single step back.

The next moment, she suddenly raised her head, "Who! Who dares to ambush me?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's run."

Jiang Zhe didn't have time to explain to her; he carried the mechanical dog and rushed past her.

"There's a whole bunch more behind that."

"Huh? What do you mean by a bunch or two? I'm not one to be trifled with..."

Upon hearing this, Lei Ya instinctively peeked into the darkness behind Jiang Zhe.

But it was completely empty there, not a single hair in sight.

"There's nothing there, how come you..."

Before he finished speaking, a chill inexplicably surged forth.

That was her warrior's senses frantically alarming her.

Although Leia's eyes didn't actually see anything, she could clearly hear the dense scratching sound of claws.

"Excuse me, goodbye."

Lei Ya instantly bristled and turned to run after Jiang Zhe.

"What's behind that?"

"Let's talk about it later."
